Abstract:

On May 17, 2021, the Greenville City Council named the Flanagan-Wagner House a local landmark, owing to both its historic connection with a highly noted Greenville business leader and it's importance for best representation in the city of the once popular Tudor Revival architectural style. The home was built for the daughter and son-in-law of Edward C. Flanagan in 1938. Local historian, Roger Kammerer shares additional points.
